Brazil is one of the five countries with the highest perception of violence
A recent survey conducted by the Ipsos Institute in 29 countries revealed that Brazil is among the five nations most exposed to violence. According to the survey, Brazil presents a worse situation than Mexico, Malaysia and India. The study had the participation of more than 23 thousand people.
In the Brazilian context, the survey found that 60% of respondents had already witnessed or heard reports about drug trafficking in the vicinity of their homes. This result significantly exceeds the overall average of the study.
In addition, more than half of the participating Brazilians reported having been victims of robberies or being aware of robberies in their neighborhood. Comparatively, in Colombia, this percentage was 29%.
The research also addressed the violence against women. The data places Brazil again in the fourth most worrying position in the global ranking. A significant percentage of at least 63% of respondents claimed to have witnessed or had knowledge of crimes committed against women in their neighborhoods.
The researchers also asked respondents which public policy they considered most urgent. Between job creation and fight against violence, 59% of respondents chose to prioritize government job creation.
It is essential to understand the factors that contribute to this feeling of violence and to seek solutions that aim to guarantee the safety and well-being of the population.
The analysis of the results of this research can serve as a starting point for the development of more effective and more comprehensive policies to combat violence, seeking to provide a safer and more peaceful society for all Brazilians.
